Has anyone use this for blowing snow? (obviously an inch or two, no more)

Although we have never tried this, we don't think it would work that well, and more importantly there is the real possibility that moisture may get into the battery and/or the unit itself, neither of which would be good.

I used it for the first time today, works great with 5 inches of snow! All of my neighbor's snow blowers were bigger, looked more expensive but did the same job as my cost effective snow blower. I put it together in the basement then carried it outside. It must be approximately 30 pounds because I can easily pick it up and carry it...I'm not one of the strongest women.

Mine didn't fit, so I never used it. I have the same problem of trying to keep the snow off. Sorry I wasn't help on this one!

I saw a brief video (perhaps @ the vendor's site?) which had a nice demo. Near the end of the "run" just do a little "fling" up. I find it works great with dry or wet snow. Just did a search - this demo looks good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9GgYKtBE9Q. PS: I also got the gravel attachment. Hope this is helpful. All the best. Pat

Like all snow blowers (or throwers) it struggles in wet snow. Being light weight it's hard to push. Through regular snow it's fine. Except you have to push a bit then also. The back wheels aren't much help. The chute turn handle broke the first timeI used it so I have to manually turn the chute. Otherwise it's a fine machine.

I like this concept for light snow,I have a 70'x40' drive and it does the job on 1" to 2" fluffy snow. The shovel is a little light as its a plastic like material,I have an older one with a heavier metal blade and works better. It doe work though and recommend it.

John, I have used a 100 ft 14/3 extension cord for weed wacker, hedge clipper and leaf blower but never snow blower except to start it up.I'm sure you will find a proper answer from another good "Sam". Sorry

YES! we have been using ours all winter so far. The only issue other than the noise of the blower is since you cant attach it to the ground like outside it does slide a bit when the kids start jumping. But that's a small issue when it gives the kids so much fun and wears them out on cold winter days :)

I'm not much help as I am 5'1""! However it has been a great snow blower for me. This is my third season with it.

So far I've not had to bother with clearing just an inch or two of snow--the sun comes out or it rains soon after and the snow's gone. I'd probably not bother getting it out with a little snowfall, so I really cannot give a good answer.

It is great on about 5 inches as I've tried it last winter. As long as it is powdery and not the icy sticky kind of snow.

It doesn't have a very strong blow but it does ok on pine needles, I've never tried it for snow. Might be ok for light snow.

I used it last year in about five inches of a fairly dense snow and it did pretty well. With that being said this is the only snow blower I have ever used.

It does leave a little snow covering where you blew, I am happy with it. Very easy to use. I just wish the wheels where adjustable so I can raise mine up a little. I have and asphalt drive with a lot of cracks and I have to be careful not to get any debris sucked inside it.

The handle/arm is folded down once you open the box so all you need is to tighten both screws after you pull up the handle/arm. This snow blower works fine on snow 3-4 inches high and since this is electric it's very inconvenient when you snow blow at the same time maneuvering your extension cord. Better buy a gas snow blower. It has more power and saves you time. I bought this because i thought it's easy to operate but i ended up planning to buy a gas snow blower next winter season.

I've been using the 100 foot 14 gauge with my electric snow blower for about 3 winters with no problems.

I used several years ago, maybe 24 inches of snow on roof. Biggest problem I had was keeping from being covered with snow that came off the roof. Unit worked great. Very pleased with it. Used on 2 story house which meant I had to use a ladder to reach the highest part of roof.
